Chapter 27
Iverson
The warm ups and stretchings were finished in the morning as a routine. We had also told the students to take their lunch to prepare for the afternoon session.
" Nasaan na ba kasi iyon?" I heard someone asked.
" Hinahanap pa ata ni Mister Sy, eh."
I can sense that the organizers were in a dilemma because of something else kaya pinagmasdan ko sila. The match should start around 12:30 pm pero si Margarette palang ang nakikita ko.
She's busy making preparations, playing along the targets. The audience were gasping and cheering because she's constantly hitting it with a bull's eye.
I rolled my eyes. Pabida.
Around 12:45 pm, I feel like the match is not starting soon. Nagmamaktol na ang ibang estudyante and I've heard the organizers doing a Plan B, selecting a random student on the crowd instead to compete Marga in the practice match.
" When are we going to start?" hindi ko na mapigilang magtanong sa isang organizer. He was trembling as he approached me.
" As soon as possible, sir Iverson. Hinihintay nalang si Mister Sy."
Tumango ako. I rubbed the bridge of the nose and stared at my watch. Something's not right.
" Hindi ka ba nahihiya sa mga kapwa mong estudyante? Anong oras pa iyan nakabilad sa araw, oh! Napaka iresponsable talaga!"
I heard a reprimand from a distance. It's now 1:01 pm. Mukhang dumating na si Professor Sy pero mainit ang ulo nito.
" Hindi nga ako nag register sa archery!" a familiar voice answered.
" Wala akong pakialam! Bakit nag register kapa kung hindi mo naman kaya? Kapag hindi ka magpaparticipate sa practice match, I will file a petition to disqualify all your matches!"
Napatingin kaming lahat sa likurang bahagi ng stage kung saan may nagbabangayan. I thought I was just hearing things pero talagang si Nemesis ang nakikita ko. Her ponytail, her combat boots and the black pants that she's wearing, it was the same clothes she wore when we met in the morning.
What's the meaning of this?
" Heto!" the instructor threw a wooden bow and arrow at Nemesis. Nag angat ng tingin ang babae at matalim na tinignan ang propesor. She then caught the weapon in her hands. She crushed it with her bare hands. Nakita kong nanlaki ang mata ng instructor.
It was the first time seeing her... really pissed off.
" A-at sinira mo pa talaga?! Walang modo!"
Nemesis picked up a metal bow and arrow on the table instead. Mabibigat ang pag apak niya sa lupa, hindi ko alam kung mabigat lang ba ang combat boots o dahil wala siya sa mood.
The professor snickered and laughed," Siguraduhin mo lang na kaya mo iyang gamitin, ha? Baka sa mga tao mag landing ang palaso mo-"
" Gagalingan ko talaga para kahit nasa malayo ka sa panot mong ulo ang deretso ng palaso ko! Bwisit!"
The organizers looked shock and daze by the two of them. Napaatras sila nang maglakad palapit si Nemesis sa kanila.
" Sisimulan niyo na o hindi?!"
" Nemesis, what's happening?" I asked when I approached her. Hindi ito sumagot.
" Ikaw ba ang nag register sa akin sa archery?! " galit nitong tanong.
" I- I did... not, baby."
" You don't have to do this if you don't want to-" I stopped mid way when she looked at me sharply.
